Time for the Dallas Cowboys to dump DeMarco Murray

With DeMarco Murray on pace to miss his sixth-straight game on Thursday, I think it&#8217;s time the Dallas Cowboys begin to look at running back prospects.

Last season the Cowboys drafted Murray in the third round and for a little while it looked as though Murray was the steal of the draft. He burst onto the scene and set the Cowboys single-game rushing record with 253 rushing yards against the St. Louis Rams.

There&#8217;s a reason, however, that Murray dropped to the third round; he&#8217;s fragile. He was hurt in college, got hurt during his rookie year, and is hurt this year. Worst part of the injury is that it involves his feet. What good is a running back that can&#8217;t use his feet?

It'd be foolish to dump/trade Murray right now while his value is at its lowest. I'm suspicious about his durability but his first injury last year was one that would have injured anybody - a 280 pound many jumped and landed directly on his ankle as he was trying to escape.

I do think a vet RB should be brought on to back him up. Alternatively a 4th or 5th round draft pick could be spent here.

Heck, if the terms are good I'd think seriously about bringing Felix back. I still think he has an amazing burst and just needs to be utilized better as a change of pace, 3rd down RB, 7-10 touches per game.

Yeah, let's dump him and replace him with that calliber of player we can draft in the first round - like a Felix Jones, because that worked out so well for us.

What is sad is that the Redskins drafted some spare in the 6th round this April who is not only going to gain 1,000 yards this season but he put up an easy 100 against the Cowboys. Meanwhile, the Cowboys 3rd round pick from last year is sitting in the tub sipping on a mojito. Oye!

It really didn't take long for the "dump Murray" chants to begin. I predicted this last year sometime when people were still crying about getting rid of Felix. There are a long lines of Dallas Cowboys running backs who can relate to Murray's predicament. J. Jones, M. Barber, Felix Jones all one time saviors of the franchise only to fall to deadbeat bum status in short order. Its absolutely hilarious....
